Check the Deck

By: barracuda – August 09, 2006

Look I know we shouldn't make fun of this ( especially as I used to do the same or worse when doing live coverage) BUT........

Just now from the guys "Doing it Live" at CardPlayer

"Chop Chop
With no raises, Michael Binger and Dan Nassif see a flop of 754. Both players check. The turn brings the 7. Binger fires out $200,000 and Nassif just calls. The river brings the 7 and Binger checks to Nassif who bets out $500,000. Binger calls and shows Q-7 for 7-7-7-5-5. Nassif, however, also shows a seven with K-7 in his hand. The players chop the pot. "

Hmmm - two lots of Quads - FLOOR !!!!!!

That's it my one and only cheap shot - unless I see a BEAUTY

I noticed that one too ... but they've since corrected it. They actually held Q-5 and K-5 for identical full houses.

You and I both used to do live tournament reporting, and we both know it's not that hard.

it is when your mum is calling from home saying you have to do your chores or it's no supper for you ( this is an age reference for all those unaware of the CP intern's demographic )

wow, what a terrible floor ruling -- chop chop. Obviously the quads with the higher kicker shoulda won.
